%. Murphy was arrested Saturday
night for stealing liquors from Mr.. A. S.
Herbert's ware house, near the Cannon
Valley depot. He has been pilfering the

and took about SIS worth of beer, be-
sides spelling ten times that amount. |
Officers Rebel and Henlein caught him
in the act at about 8 O'Clock Saturday |
night. They had suspected him and |
watched the previous night, but he elud-
ed them. Murphy is notorious drunk,
and will probably be sent to the inebri-
ate asylum. Mr.. Herbert does not de-
sire to prosecute, though there is evil
dence enough to send him to saltwater.
He will probably have hearing to-mor-
row morning.
